Halloween question

[whiskyinmind]

Right. Here's a question for you: sis is doing a halloween party and has a book with instructions to make 'jack's lanterns' out of tin cans. What are they for? Why are they full of ice? Are they just for decoration or what?

Yeah, I knew what a Jack O'Lantern was - like I said to waddis, I think it's originally a Celtic tradition - this thing comes from a book of suggestions for Hallowe'en decorations and shows what is basically a tin can with holes punched in it.

It's probably just for decorating but to honest, it looks really rubbish compared to the rest of the book. We (Sis and I) were just wondering if this tin can thing was something that's always been done in the States.

I'm guessing not though!

Cheers!

Ah. *cringes* Sorry! I wasn't sure what they do over there. But no, no tin cans that I have ever seen.
